With the October edition of Response Magazine, we have released my book “Building Brand with Direct Response Television“. This book takes an unusual look at DRTV – focusing on it’s biggest potential power: building brands while driving immediate sales (at retail as well as direct).

This book is the result of the past decade when I’ve written extensively about direct response television (DRTV) and it pulls together a comprehensive view of how DRTV can build brand, drive retail, and, in the process, dramatically change the marketing game.

Underlying the writing are the “Six Degree’s of DRTV” developed at my agency to focus on getting far more impact from DRTV campaigns than either yell & sell or soft brand DRTV delivers.

Starting with the fundamental value & continuing strength of TV, the book progresses through critical topics including campaign strategy, creative, and campaign execution. There is a special chapter devoted to the common retail problem we call the Shelf Potato and which I write about in my other blog (link here).

Enjoy the read.
